Thomson Reuters Realized Volatility Index
The Thomsom Reuters Realized Volatility Index (RVI) is the most popular of Thomson Reuters signal indices. The Realized Volatility Index measures and forecasts realized volatility at a variety of time horizons – from one day to several months.
FORECASTING VOLATILITY
The index provides a new way to forecast volatility. It forecasts future rather than coincident volatility and is a more useful measure of volatility than provided by traditional indices. The RVI provides invaluable insight, as change in volatility is often viewed as indicative of where stock prices will be.
The RVI is calculated with Thomson Reuters Equity Index data. Accurate 1 month-ahead forecasts are available for weekly, biweekly, monthly and longer intervals. Accurate realized volatility forecasts longer than a month in length can be made starting at the 3 month volatility interval.
